Absolute Event Rate: -2.29% vs 13.5%
The trapezium-based approach provides a more accurate and robust method for T-wave end detection on ECGs in noisy conditions without relying on empirical thresholds.
Seisdedos et al. (2011) studied Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing (n=3,112). Trapezium's areas (TRA) algorithm vs. Threshold on the first derivative (THD) algorithm was evaluated on Mean detection error (accuracy) for best beat per record in milliseconds. The Trapezium's areas algorithm outperformed the threshold on the first derivative method for T-wave end detection, demonstrating higher accuracy (mean error -2.29 ms vs 13.5 ms) and greater robustness to wideband noise.
